Snippet #2697819

Fintan stroked his beard about Oischot's response. It felt tongue in cheek but he considered how to make it work and thought out loud, "We're not miracle workers to destroy the whole planet's comms but I wonder how high gain a jamming signal I could ram through that complex for how long if we didn't care at all if the electronics burnt out. Wouldn't need any encryption keys to scream white noise the sky and mirror some of the bands off the troposphere. I'd have to run some numbers on transmission drop off. If you can't shoot them all we could shout them down for a little while to gain position for an exit strategy. Burn out enough electronics and the complex may as well be blown up if it doesn't burn down first. Techs would need a bit of quiet time to reverse engineer a system or two to rewire and bypass safeties. Time a few explosives too for a reserve destruction. Maybe I could get you a regional denial of service for a while depending on the sats they have up there and the weather. Best case half a continent perhaps. It'd take a fair bit more time than just pounding the dish in."

He looked up from some comms technical manuals on his dataslate at the other two groups, "I'd leave getting the quiet time up to you gentlemen."
